I've finished development on Blazing Cruiser 1.6. Here's a little preview of what you will find...
Blazing Cruiser
Hi. After seeing so many mods I decided to try my hand at one. I came out with a cruiser that replaces Kestrel B. This cruiser uses fire weaponry. It starts with two extended fire beams, one laser weapon that starts fires, and a missile that starts fires. It starts with no shields or cloaking. To give the ship a chance, it has a unique drone upon start. The crew is composed of three Rock. The sprites are modified versions of the Kestrel B layout.
The Blazing Cruiser mod is installed on FTL using Grognak's Mod Manager. Click here to download Blazing Cruiser from Xenolith. Leave feedback and suggestions below.

At a glance, it looks like that set of starting weapons may be a bit overpowered. maybe without shields or cloak it could balance it out, but the firebomb seems perfectly useful in comparison to the leto.

I tried to give the idea of a burnng fire, and I thought the impression of a fire would be nice, hence "Blazing Cruiser", but I'll make some modifications in the future.
And yes, yay fire. Once you get level two sensors (It'll start out with them in v1.1) you get to see the devastation. Easy way to unlock the fire in all tiles achievement too. X3
Notice: I just updated this to v1.1. It now has a red coloring and two custom weapons which start, you guessed it, fires. You can download the new version at the Xenolith page.
I made an account just to tell you. Fix the crew teleporter on your ship. You need to most likely just enable it. I bought one from the shop and the game crashed.

I was just about to get the mantis cruiser!
Will do. Thanks for letting me know.
EDIT: It should be resolved. I discovered that the layout of the rooms was bugged because it used the layout of the Kestrel and not the Red-Tail. When the teleporter was supposed to be installed it requested to install it in a room that didn't exist, therefore crashing the game. It now uses the proper layout.
I'm still intrigued by this mod...
